I'm still pretty convinced that you're looking at a syntax problem. Shell syntax is... not always trivial. I wouldn't trust most text editors 100% on that. One thing you might try is to run your file through "bash -n" which checks syntax without executing (well: it tries to: with languages like shell, this is actually practically impossible). Another thing would be to share your whole script here, but then you'll want to make sure that there's nothing in there you want to consider confidential. Cheers -- t
